The Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile, abbreviated as ITCM, is based on Nirbhay missile but uses locally developed Small Turbo Fan Engine (STFE), also known as Manik Engine from Gas Turbine Research Establishment. The ITCM is a technology demonstrator programme to validate the capability of STFE, upgraded radio frequency (RF) seekers, and ...
The F-16-compatible AGM-158A JASSM missile is particularly similar to the UK and France’s Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG air-launched cruise missiles, which were given to Ukraine and strapped onto its ...
